Servings: 4-6
Preparation Time: ½ hour prep, 4 hours slow-cooking

Stew:

• 2 tablespoons coconut oil
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 large onion, diced
• 1 pound ground beef or bison
• 1 ½ cups chicken broth
• 1 (4 ounce) can diced green chilies
• 3 potatoes, diced
• 2 cups frozen kernel corn
• 1 teaspoon pepper
• 1 teaspoon Himalayan salt
• 1 heaping tablespoon dried oregano
• ½ tablespoon ground cumin

Garnishes:

• grated cheese of your choice
• sour cream

Sauté the onion, garlic and beef/bison in the coconut oil over medium heat, until browned. Combine the meat mixture with the rest of the ingredients in the slow cooker.

Cover and cook on LOW for 4 hours, or until the potatoes are soft. Add salt/pepper and garnishes to each bowl.

Note: For a soup-like consistency, add another cup of broth.
